The Opportunity

During the peak holiday shopping season, Sol de Janeiro needed to elevate the performance of its advertising campaigns. Traditional demographic and interest-based segments weren’t enough. They needed a way to reach shoppers who were already researching and considering beauty purchases. The goal: boost engagement and efficiency by targeting consumers with proven buying intent.

The Solution

Sol de Janeiro leveraged Sovrn’s beauty commerce audience segment, built entirely from Sovrn’s purchase intent data, differentiating it from traditional audience segments. This audience consists of shoppers who recently demonstrated a clear intent to purchase by clicking on affiliate links for similar beauty products. By focusing on this high-intent audience, Sol de Janeiro ensured ads reached the right consumers who were already demonstrating strong interest.

The Results

By targeting an intent-driven beauty audience, Sol de Janeiro’s achieved stronger performance than traditional targeting methods.

  • +78% higher click-through rate compared to Experian’s in-store beauty shopper segments
  • 45% more cost-effective due to more efficient reach and stronger engagement

These results highlight the power of using commerce data to connect brands with shoppers who are genuinely ready to make a purchase, especially during competitive shopping seasons.
